Titian’s six nude masterpieces, inspired by Greek and Roman mythology, were reunited for the first time in centuries at London’s National Gallery. However, just as the exhibition opened, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the gallery to close. This documentary offers a rare glimpse of these iconic works before they were once again hidden from public view. In 1550, Titian, Europe’s most celebrated painter, met Prince Philip of Spain, leading to one of art history’s most extraordinary commissions. Drawing inspiration from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Titian created six groundbreaking paintings that explore human desire, sexuality, and the consequences of love. Scattered across the globe, these works had not been united in over 450 years. Art enthusiasts have long dreamed of seeing them together, as Titian intended. In addition to showcasing these stunning visuals, the documentary features expert interviews with art historians, classicists, and artists, offering insights into the enduring significance of these masterpieces.
